Time:

Oviatt Families 4-6 p.m.

Will you help us by contributing toward the cost of the meal? Any donation amount is appreciated. Please click here to donate.

Norwalk PTO invites you to join us for the first meeting of the school year – Monday, Sept. 17 at 6:15 pm at Lakewood Elementary. Childcare will be provided.

As the Norwalk community continues to grow, the PTO is evolving to better serve the school district. You will have the opportunity meet and learn more about each of the PTO board members. The board will also provide an overview of the projects and programs the PTO will be funding during the school year.

But none of this could be possible with you the support of the teachers, parents and community members. We need you! Generosity of not only funds, but also time and talents. Our main goal is to support the elementary schools by providing them with the tools and activities that are not allotted for in the general budget. To achieve these goals, volunteers are needed. If you can give an hour or ten, it is appreciated.

We will be sharing the various volunteer opportunities at this meeting.
